Paul Mitchell Schools

The Paul Mitchell School in Bradley, Illinois, formerly known as the Trend Setters College of Cosmetology, has helped aspiring cosmetologists in the state receive licensure and the exciting career opportunities of a lifetime by entering a profession exclusively based on artistic talent, creativity and social skills. The Bradley campus has an open-door admissions policy that considers any applicant for enrollment, provided that said applicant is at least 18 years old and has a high school diploma or GED. To get started on a beauty career that thrives on your creative energies, you can apply at any time throughout the year. The academics available at the school include one of the nation’s most comprehensive cosmetology programs. From day one you will be immersed in beauty culture. As soon as you learn the most basic skills you will be on the rehearsal floor refining them. Soon enough you will be taking your creativity to the Paul Mitchell clinical floor, where you will perform beauty services for clients. This will give you the hands-on practice to fine-tune your interpersonal and technical skills. The final portion of your training will be in the business side of the profession.

Once you graduate, you will be able to benefit from Paul Mitchell’s nationwide professional network. You will have access to plenty of employers throughout the nation, not to mention the opportunity to create your own networking contacts.
